The first time Bruce met Clemons was in September 1971. At the time, the musician was playing with Norman Seldin & The Joyful Noyze at The Wonder Bar in Asbury Park, New Jersey. It was Karen Cassidy, the singer, who encouraged Clemons to meet the young Springsteen, who instead played with The Bruce Springsteen Band at the nearby Student Prince club.
Clarence showed up there one dark and stormy night. So, Bruce's band was on stage, playing for those few customers who had taken shelter from the storm. Suddenly, the band stopped: framed in the doorway, blown away by the wind, Bruce saw a huge black shape.
Then, suddenly, that silhouette came onto the stage. He simply said, "I want to play with your band," and Bruce replied, "Of course, because you can do whatever you want."
This is what Clarence would later say:
"The first song we played was an early version of 'Spirits in The Night'. Bruce and I looked at each other and said nothing, we knew it. We knew we were the missing link in our lives. He was the one I was looking for. In the end he was just a skinny guy. But he was a visionary. He wanted to follow his dream. So from that moment on I was part of the band."
